BILL NUMBER:S2240
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to penalties for aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree
Purpose/summary of provisions
This bill makes aggravated unlicensed operation in the first degree a class D, rather than a class E, felony; it also provides for the requisite fines and/or imprisonment.
Existing law
Amends paragraph (b) of subdivision 3 of section 511 of the vehicle and traffic law.
Justification
Recent events in New York City and elsewhere make it clear that the penalties for aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle need to be increased. It is evident that a class E felony is having little deterrent effect upon those operating a motor vehicle with or without a license.
Fiscal implications
None.
Effective date
The first day of November next succeeding the date on which it will become a law.
